A documented member of the Bloods street gang is off the streets after a brief chase in Austin that started with an attempted traffic stop, according to state officials. Authorities say 32-year-old Devonshae Aikeis Fisher was arrested on May 21 in a multi-agency operation and is now being held on outstanding warrants. Investigators have linked Fisher to prior gun and drug convictions and had already placed him on the state’s wanted list.
How law enforcement tracked and arrested him
The Texas Department of Public Safety says Austin Police and Texas Highway Patrol troopers first tried to pull Fisher over, which sparked a short vehicle pursuit. After that initial chase, investigators with DPS’ Criminal Investigations Division, working alongside the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, tracked down the vehicle and moved in for the arrest in Austin. A DPS fugitive bulletin warned that Fisher “should be considered ARMED and DANGEROUS,” and the agency credits the capture to coordination between state, local, and federal partners.

Criminal history and outstanding warrants
According to reporting by KXAN, which cited DPS records, Fisher was convicted in 2012 of possession with intent to distribute cocaine base. He was later convicted in Bexar County in 2021 of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and received a five-year sentence. KXAN reports he was released on parole in April 2023 and had been wanted since July 2024, when a parole-violation warrant was issued. The outlet also notes that in March 2025, McClain County, Oklahoma, issued warrants for bail jumping and failure to appear on charges tied to acquiring proceeds from drug activity.
What comes next
Fisher remains in custody while agencies work through booking and any extradition related to the Oklahoma warrants, and while prosecutors decide what to file in local court. DPS also stated that Fisher’s capture did not come from a Crime Stoppers tip, adding that tips that do lead to arrests may still qualify for a reward. Officials have not yet released information on Fisher’s next court date or whether any new charges have been filed in Travis County. Texas Department of Public Safety
